While a standard visual inspection is the baseline for commercial electrical work, thermal imaging scans are typically considered an advanced diagnostic tool rather than a mandatory part of every standard inspection.
We offer both levels of evaluation to suit your facility’s needs:
- Standard Visual Inspection: Our licensed technicians perform a comprehensive 2–3 hour visual examination of electrical panels, wiring, switches, and outlets to identify visible signs of corrosion, damage, or overheating.
- Advanced Inspection: If you elect to include thermal imaging, our trained thermographers use calibrated infrared cameras to detect hidden arcing, hot spots, and overloaded circuits that are invisible to the naked eye. This process typically adds 1–2 hours to the inspection time.
For many building owners, choosing an advanced inspection with thermal imaging is a wise investment. It provides deeper risk detection, helps uncover hidden non-compliance with NEC 2026 standards, and can often lead to more favorable insurance outcomes.
Safety is our #1 priority, and all of our work—whether a visual check or an advanced scan—meets or exceeds modern electrical codes and industry standards. Results may vary based on individual circumstances and building conditions.
